Best Buy appointment?

Mine told me they would call me when they got them in.. I didn't get an appointment time.

I'm thinking about just going to Verizon instead.. they open earlier and I can be in and out faster.. and make it to work on time.. best buy's 10 am opening may be cutting it close depending on how efficient they are.

I preordered from best buy a few days ago, and was just noticing the blank appointment spot on the preorder paper they gave me. Is this appointment necessary or can I just show up Friday and pick it up?

Mine told me they'd call me and try to get an appt. set up for my convenience; presumably they'll call people in order and try to set up spots.

I also pre-ordered for pickup on Nov 6th. There is some concern out there that Best Buy may or may not have the Droid available on the 6th. I have read comments where people have said that Verizon employees took out Droids from the back and let them check out the box.

Had anyone confirmed or spoken with anyone at BB that claims that they have received the shipment of Motorola Droids and that they have them in the back?

I was in Best Buy today for something else and I stopped by and asked about pickup as my store is scheduling appointments for Saturday. I was told that they still did not have them in the building and would not until sometime on Friday after UPS dropped off the order. Also note that my Best Buy doesn't even have a demo unit out yet.

Oh...and when I was talking to the guy at Best Buy I asked how much full retail would be and he said that they still didn't know.

I think I will be heading over to the Verizon kiosk at 6:00am on Friday morning and if I strike out there I will just wait for Best Buy to get their act together on Friday or Saturday.

Not too long now!

I went to my BB. Even though I was given an appointment, BB's policy is still first-come, first-served. If you preordered, there is a phone with your name on it and they cannot sell it. However, if they get less in than preorders, it is based on when the preorder was made. So, if you have an appointment, I would call your BB to see if they even know what they are talking about.
